turntable.fm bot

Overview

This is my turntable.fm bot ultrabot the funk. He DJs when I don't have anyone else in my room to spin with, he likes everything I play, and he spouts deep thoughts.

You're welcome to use this script or modify it to create your own bot.

Installing

First you will need to clone a copy of the ultrabot repository:

git clone https://github.com/mzabriskie/ultrabot.git

From the ultrabot directory install the Node dependencies:

cd ultrabot && npm install

Run this bookmarklet to get the AUTH, USERID and ROOMID.

Next you will need to create a bots.js config file:

vim bots.js

var Bot = require('ttapi'),
    ROOM_ID = '0123456789abcdefghijklmn'; // ID of whatever room you want

// Add as many bots as you want, but there needs to be at least one
// The first bot listed will be the moderator and will DJ when there aren't enough DJs in the room
module.exports = [
    new Bot('0123456789abcdefghijklmn', '0123456789abcdefghijklmn', ROOM_ID),
    new Bot('0123456789abcdefghijklmn', '0123456789abcdefghijklmn', ROOM_ID),
    new Bot('0123456789abcdefghijklmn', '0123456789abcdefghijklmn', ROOM_ID)
];

Running

Start ultrabot server:

npm start

Launch turntable.fm from your browser and visit the room that you specified in your bots.js configuration.
